About Us

Our History

Independent Psychiatry was established in 2008 by its founder members on the ethos of providing the best possible service and care for individuals requiring psychiatric assistance. Originally based in Glasgow, we have rapidly expanded and now provide assessments throughout the UK due to our commitment and ability to deliver high quality and comprehensive services to our clients, having built up a diverse portfolio of clients from across the Country.

Our Ethos

We believe that everyone has the right to be provided with the quality care and assistance they expect to diagnose and tackle mental health issues. All our services offer a fully independent opinion, and our consultants will always act with integrity in the most professional manner. Our purpose is to deliver an uncompromising level of assessment and care, and to improve the quality of life for the growing number of people struggling with mental health problems.

Independent Psychiatry are a team of consultant psychiatrists who are approved under Section 22 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 as having special experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. We are a professional, hard working team with considerable experience that strive to deliver the highest possible standard of assessment and care, as well as customer satisfaction.

Louise Melia, Melia Legal

A highly professional and discrete service that hits the mark at every level. The consulting psychiatrist was very approachable, understanding and questioned with a level of fine detail that I have not experienced before. The written reports were of a very high standard and this has been commented on by other health professionals. I acted on the advice provided and I achieved good results. I would have no hesitation in recommending this service to others. On a financial level, the service provided very good value for money.
